The Chapter get Retranslated
Madara Uchiha was leading the Hidden Rain Village villagers, with a large quantity of supplies, and had already been away from Konohagakure for many days.
During these past few days, Konohagakure had also, according to Madara Uchiha's wishes, announced the so-called Konoha defeat terms and ceasefire agreement, word for word, to the entire Ninja World.
Although the higher-ups of the Five Great Ninja Villages all knew about it, other ordinary people and ordinary ninja were completely unaware. Once this announcement was made, the entire Ninja World was thrown into an uproar, and Madara Uchiha once again became the publicly recognized archenemy of the entire Ninja World!
Especially after learning about Konohagakure's specific tragic situation, many forces warned their subordinates that they absolutely must not provoke Madara Uchiha.
Madara Uchiha was unaware that his reputation had once again spread throughout the Ninja World. He continued to direct the Hidden Rain Village villagers to escort the supplies back. This day, they finally passed through the most difficult Green Lotus Mountain Range, entering the current territory of Hidden Rain Village.
After passing the Green Lotus Mountain Range, Madara Uchiha didn't feel anything in particular, but the accompanying advisors and ninja instantly had a different spirit and energy about them; their faces seemed to blossom with vitality.
Why?
Because of a hidden sense of pride and satisfaction. Having crossed the Green Lotus Mountain Range, every blade of grass, every tree, every mountain, and every rock they had passed and seen along the way now belonged to their own country. They were proud to be a part of the Land of Yu.
Madara Uchiha was happy to see this. Since they were so happy, they might as well speed up their journey.
The group was walking on a flat road through the plains and forest. A few advisors were discussing the handover and governance of the new territory, while dozens of ninja were highly focused, ready for anything. Each of them had a brand new mental outlook.
Madara Uchiha sneered at their ignorant behavior.
At this moment, he sat casually on a pile of high supplies in a cart, holding a book in his hand. It contained knowledge related to the Flying Thunder God Jutsu, which Madara Uchiha had been researching and constantly experimenting with.
As they walked, the group and the convoy suddenly stopped.
Madara Uchiha looked up and saw that everyone looked nervous. A ninja immediately reported:
"Lord Madara! Someone is blocking the way ahead!"
What? Someone actually dared to block his cart, with a death wish no less!?
Madara Uchiha immediately grew interested in this audacious person. He stood up on the towering supply cart and gazed into the distance.
With a glance, he saw a tall person wearing a brown robe, with a black mask covering their face from the nose down, and an imposing aura. They were... sitting by the side of the road!
That's right, just sitting by the side of the road.
A large drop of cold sweat appeared on Madara Uchiha's face.Ā ThisĀ was someone blocking the road? Just sitting by the roadside counted as blocking the road?
Were these ninja overly nervous? Did they think anyone they encountered was an enemy trying to stop them!?
A ninja, "righteously indignant," pulled out a kunai, waiting for Madara Uchiha's command to charge out: "Lord Madara, should we attack!"
"Attack my ass! Don't be so jumpy! He's just sitting by the side of the road, and he hasn't shown us any malice. Besides... I know this person. All of you, put away your weapons! I'll go meet him!"
The ninja looked at each other in confusion but still obediently put away their weapons.
Madara Uchiha shook his head and took a step forward. With a Shunshin no Jutsu, he instantly appeared on the ground opposite them.
The person sitting by the roadside saw Madara Uchiha appear and slowly stood up. There was a subtle hint of respect in his movements. From beneath his black mask came his deep voice:
"Madara Uchiha, I have long admired your name. I have been waiting here for a long time!"
Madara Uchiha nodded slightly:
"I've been looking for you for a long time too. I didn't expect you to be waiting for me here, Kakuzu..."
That's right! The one waiting for Madara Uchiha to pass by was Kakuzu, whom Madara Uchiha had always wanted White Zetsu to find and recruit!
To Madara Uchiha's words, Kakuzu replied indifferently:
"It's an honor to be remembered by Madara Uchiha, the Ninja World Asura!"
"Hehe... You know, I recently took over a new Hidden Rain Village. Hidden Rain Village is a small ninja village, and I've put a lot of effort into developing it. First, I fought the Hidden Stone Village, then Konohagakure. Supplies are pretty much sufficient, but talent is still lacking..."
"Are you planning to recruit me?"
"Hasn't White Zetsu already conveyed my intentions to you? I do want to recruit you. To achieve a great undertaking, even the Four Kage cannot do it alone."
Madara Uchiha had clearly expressed his intentions, which made Kakuzu a little tempted. He scratched his head:
"Hmm... After wandering the Ninja World for so many years, it would certainly be good to have a stable place to settle down. However, I still need to confirm something..."
As he spoke, Kakuzu activated his secret technique. Black meridian lines, like black horsehair worms, suddenly burst from Kakuzu's back. Four eerie masks emerged from behind him. With the connection of the black meridian lines, his arms also elongated, and his entire aura surged, instantly transforming him into a terrifying humanoid monster!
Madara Uchiha's expression was unreadable: "Kakuzu, do you not believe in my reputation, Madara Uchiha?"
Kakuzu's voice, after transforming, sounded somewhat terrifying:
"Hearing is believing, but seeing is proof."
"Alright, if that's the case, then let me show you, lest you disrespect your superior in the future."
Saying that, Madara Uchiha performed hand signs:
"Wind Release: Decapitating Blade!"
A pale white Wind Blade ripped out from between Madara Uchiha's hands, instantly elongated, and was shot out horizontally by Madara Uchiha!
The Wind Blade's speed was incredibly fast, cutting in front of Kakuzu in the blink of an eye. It was too late to escape!
In Kakuzu's widened eyes, he only felt a flash of white light, a cool sensation across his stomach, and then he was directly cut in half!
A white light flashed, and the long, narrow Wind Blade grazed past Kakuzu, instantly cutting through the forest behind him!
Just as the two halves of Kakuzu fell to the ground, the forest behind him emitted crisp cracking sounds, and huge trees were cut in half at the waist, falling to the ground.
The lush green forest turned into a logging field, with the canopies fallen, leaving only dense, bare tree trunks standing there.
